Adult Sleep Apnea: How Dentistry Helps You Breathe at Night

Introduction: CPAP Isn’t the Only Answer

Obstructive sleep apnea affects millions of adults, causing fatigue, snoring, and long-term health risks. At Amore Dentistry, we offer holistic dental solutions that help patients breathe better at night—without relying only on machines.

Why Sleep Apnea Is Serious

• Linked to heart disease, diabetes, and depression.

• Causes oxygen dips and restless sleep.

• Often goes undiagnosed (Punjabi, 2008).

Dental Approaches to Sleep Apnea

• Oral appliance therapy: Positions jaw forward to open airway.

• Arch development: Creates permanent airway space.

• Myofunctional therapy: Restores natural breathing patterns.

Conclusion: Holistic Solutions for Better Sleep

At Amore Dentistry, we combine dental science and holistic care to help adults reclaim energy, health, and restful nights.
